2017.08-rc1, To be released
Major revamp of the gettext handling, with user-visible
effect:
- prior to this revamp, when BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE=y, each
package could decide to enable or not NLS support. When
BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE was disabled, NLS support was forced off
by passing --disable-nls to packages.
- after this revamp, a new BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS option
controls whether NLS support should be enabled or not in
packages. This option defaults to disabled, which means
that now, NLS support is by default disabled in all
packages.
Therefore, if you need NLS support in packages, you must now
explicitly enable the BR2_SYSTEM_ENABLE_NLS option.
2017.05.1, Released July 4th, 2017
Important / security related fixes.
